Apocalypse Now Final Cut 4K Ultra HD

This is the newly restored 4K Ultra HD "Apocalypse Now Final Cut," Director Francis Ford Coppola's visionary Vietnam War epic. Also included is the 4K Ultra HD remastered original 1979 theatrical version. Nominated for eight Academy Awards® and winner of two, "Apocalypse Now" is the stunning masterpiece of Coppola about the insanities of the Vietnam War. The film chronicles a mission led by Captain Willard (Sheen) during the Vietnam War to assassinate Colonel Kurtz (Brando), who is rumored to have gone insane. Escorted to the mouth of the Nung River by Captain Kilgore (Duvall), Willard's crew must travel up the river deep into the heart of Vietnam to get to Kurtz in Cambodia. On finally reaching their destination, they learn that Kurtz is worshiped by the local villagers. An American photographer (Hopper), who is caught up in the madness, explains the villagers' devotion to Kurtz, which causes Willard to question his orders. Forty years after his initial theatrical cut of "Apocalypse Now," Francis Coppola returned to the material and created his personal expanded and re-edited version. This classic is a powerful and chilling tale, which is also a highlight on the American Film Institute's (AFI) list of 100 Years...100 Movies. Based loosely on Joseph Conrad's novel "Heart Of Darkness." The documentary "Hearts Of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse" is a must-see insightful experience with commentary by Eleanor and Francis Ford Coppola. (Gary Reber)
